BANKING SECTOR CHALLENGES OVERVIEW
Problems:
 Traditional banking sector is still at the low
marginality level since the crisis of 2007.
 Rapidly changing technologies. Innovation cycles
are shortened.
 Many banks are still using outdated software
holding them back from entering the era of digital
banking.
 Multi-factorial nature, informational overload and
difficulties in product selection. Thus, it’s
impossible to build hypercomplex behavioral
models.
 Modern transactional, trading and payment sites
are pulling away the clients acting as an
intermediary for the bank.
 Some banks have to create or acquire “smart”
portal and sites by considerably expanding the list
of the products and services with the ones that are
not traditionally banking ones.
Opportunities:
 Return marginality to pre-crisis level by performing the following:
 Entering the digital banking market using one of the four suggested
IBM strategies
 Reducing OPEX through cloud solutions
 Focus on retail banking
 No bank branches – only representative centers to directly
communicate with clients.
 Remote contract conclusion through certificates /tokens
 Classification of clients and identifying focus groups: generation
“Next”, “conservatives”, “SME”, “pensioners” and set-up of banks for
them (probably under a single brand)
 Change of the paradigm – a bank is only a provider of the
financial resources + GL + Risk Management + ERP + reports tо
the regulating authorities.
 Delegation of all the remaining functions to the platforms of
brokersmediators, including all the functions of the front office.
 Analyze users’ demand and hold targeted advertising campaigns
within mediators’ platform.
 Cognitive banking – smart banking (by IBM).
 Fully digital bank

WHO WE ARE
We are a group of mathematicians and IT specialists, graduates of M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State
University, Kyiv Taras Shevchenko National University.
• we have 20 years history of successful banking automation system development including

banking sector

supplying companies across Ukraine

5.
OUR STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

sort of e-marketplace which is providing full range of financial services and
payments.
• The top-class international transaction processing system.
• International retail banking platform with the flexible set of products to predict
and satisfy the most demanding and urgent requests of the customers.
• Mixing financial services with a social networking into the one financial and fully
automated meta-environment.
• Digital Environment ready for a Digital Marketing, Cognitive assistant, Big Data
Analysis

6.
WHAT HAVE WE DONE ALREADY?
• Those projects we have completed made us understand that all the financial
systems have a lot of common features. We have managed to classify typical
processes, reporting system elements, user roles, products, services and
operations. As a result we were able to create a prototype of innovative
Financial Transactional/Trading Platform (FTTP) intended to facilitate
implementation of corebanking systems, retail banking solutions, billing
systems, payment, clearing and settlement platforms.
• Financial Transactional/Trading Platform – is a high-scalable cloud solution that
make it possible to serve independent businesses according to the multi tenant
mode.
• Based on this prototype platform we have already created the first product - a
retail banking system. This system was highly praised by one of “Big 4” Audit
Companies and named “one of the most promising projects” in 2008.

7.
SUBSTANCE OF PROPOSAL
We offer to:
• Build financial/banking business in a new cognitive paradigm such as
development of mobile, digital, smart banking
• Update and use our FTTP platform as a basic framework
• Build a meta environment with one or several operational banks
specialized in retail banking products and a wide range of popular
services for SME
• Establish a professional network of financial services capable of
organizing situational or permanent groups for doing business
together and/or communication. All financial, e-commerce, banking
needs arisen as a result of cooperation will be fulfilled through
operational bank/group of banks

WHAT IS FTTP FS-BOOK
(Financial Transactional/Trading Platform)
FTTP is a Smart Cloud Marketplace
Cloud providers Cloud consumers
Smart Cloud
Marketplace
FTTP is Financial Transactional/Trading Platform that belongs to a cognitive middleware
class of software systems. It is an intermediate service layer between the providers and
consumers of financial services. FTTP FS-Book provides users with financial services,
instruments and interfaces enabling them to launch and run business activities

9.
WHAT IS FTTP (continuation)
Being a marketplace FTTP connects providers and consumers, suppliers and acquirers, vendors
and buyers, banks and customers, Investors/private investors and borrowers.
FTTP is intended to make their interactions faster, friendlier, more secure and less
expensive.
• E-market where financial service providers and their consumers meet each other (cognitive/AI
intermediator) and make deals (brokerage)
• Financial service provider itself (invoicing, billing, e-commerce (B2B, B2C), peer to peer lending, bond e-
trading, OTC trading)
• Front-office for banks, credit unions, insurance companies, crowdfunding entities and other service
providers
• All-in-one-box ERP services (GL, AR/AP, Inventory management, e-commerce,… ) like ODOO for SME
and individuals (almost “free of charge” in order to attract and hold as many consumers as possible)
• Professional network for building business and professional relationships and interactions.

10.
FTTP FS-BOOK MAIN PARTICIPANTS
• Traditional financial market players – investment and commercial banks, credit
unions, insurance companies
• Stock traders operating outside the Stock Exchange (Over the Counter - OTC)
• Brokerage firms
• Service providers who need third-party invoicing/billing solutions
• Payment systems and payment gateway operators
• Goods and non-financial services sellers
• Credit bureaus
• Debt collection agencies
• Accredited key certification centers
• Individuals and SME entities
Main FS-Book participants are the individuals and SME entities

11.
FTTP ADVANTAGES
• Participation in FTTP allows service providers to increase the number of potential
customers since it will serve as front-office and virtual marketplace closing the
distance between the service provider and consumer.
• For a consumer FTTP is a single access point for a wide selection of services provided
by different enterprises. We will assist consumer to make choice among the great
number of offered services without exposing them to annoying advertisement and
make it possible to evaluate any provider’s performance in measurable parameters –
reliability of the provider, price, maintenance cost, fine amounts, etc.
• For all the participants the FTTP offers an opportunity to maintain direct connections
and perform business operations with everyone registered in the platform.
Fully developed FTTP environment will be a practical realization of financial cluster
concept – a self sufficient environment fully capable of performing financial operation
of any complexity without reliance on external services or agencies. This is particularly
demanded in case of large-scale international financial companies which can use our
meta-environment as an integration platform.
